Thank you, Chair.
I'm happy to be here today to discuss such an important issue to Canadian taxpayers.
I appreciate that the motion was circulated this morning and has just been read in. I would like to move an amendment to the motion. It has been forwarded to the clerk in both official languages.
I can read it out in the meantime, while we distribute it to the committee. The amendment is simply, at the end of the existing motion, to remove “and without redaction”, and to add “and that the departments and agencies tasked with gathering these documents apply redactions to protect cabinet confidences, respect privacy legislation, and protect sensitive commercial interests.”
